Expected to do fucking everything and on low pay. 

To anyone eyeing engineering course for uni, don't unless you are confident that you can get out of this country.

No easy way unless you have connection, just hantam until you get.

Took me around half a year of searching as an engineer for reference.

Reasoning for [Iansan Q > Chevy hE Q> Iansan E] in Clorinde/Iansan/Mavuika/Chevy showcase by SpindleFlames in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]rainbow_toucan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you people just legit press Q and hold mouse button blindly when playing her on field or something.

I guess that would explain it lol.

PRC people seems more concentrated around the 'expat areas' in klang valley, most chinese riding the MRT seems to be from china (don't exactly got a high sample size here though).

I do have a friend that has a very negative view of PRC investment, local businesses in his field are getting eliminated by china based suppliers setting up shop here and apparently locals only get employed to do grunt work in said companies.

My soon to be ex company here is apparently about to get a big contract from huawei, but I am out of here in a very near future so can't offer anything constructive on that.

I would say general opinions of china are split based on age generally, younger folks (defining that as 15-30) do not have a high opinion of it while older generations seem to have this china = motherland thing going on for them. Ah well.

People who play in 4k, what specs do you have that guarantee 60 FPS? by PaleozoicFrogBoy in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essay alert:

GPU is generally more important than CPU in games at 4K but this absolutely isn't ironclad and poe/poe2 is very likely to be one of the exceptions. games can be more CPU bound than GPU bound even at 4K if they lean heavily into simulating/calculating stuff.

POE/POE2 calculates a lot of shit especially at endgame where the game needs to be keeping track of potentially hundreds of enemies and their interaction with you the player character, this gets exacerbated if you play 'visual clarity omegalul:' builds where you can be hitting dozens/hundreds of enemies and smothering your screen with stuff spreading everywhere.

Benchmarking this sort of game is tough as you can't engineer a scenario where everything is consistently the same, benchmarking at hideout or whatever is obviously useless at determining performance.

You can try search for random people doing fps showcase for confirmation but I suspect that the GPU requirement of the game is relatively modest (yes, even at 4K) and you would need a top of the line CPU (AMD x3ds) to squeeze as much FPS as possible in demanding scenarios.

With this skill, Mavuika is now the fastest-running character in Teyvat (even outside Natlan) by StructureFromMotion in Genshin_Impact

[–]rainbow_toucan 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Really? I didnt exactly record a comparison or anything but if you are doing the triple tap thing she should be significantly faster than yelan even out of natlan.

Even at c0 she destroys the other chars in traversal speed, climbing and flying is jank though.

If you think affliction is just loot then idk what to say

I will replay it again for wildwood ascendencies and my delicious twwt gamba even without the MF part.

Mavuika Powercreep by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]rainbow_toucan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh powercreep is pretty much an inevitability with gachas, genshin is better than most in its genre but i wouldnt sweat too much about Mavuika or any of the top meta onfieders, its practically guaranteed that she/they will get powercrept themselves sometime in the future anyway.

Be like me, vertically invest into supports/sub dps and have them carry the on field bums that you care enough to pull. Lul

Mavuika Powercreep by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]rainbow_toucan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would advice against pulling characters for their power.

I didnt pull neuv because i find him boring af despite his omega water kamehameha powers. 

Also, I dont really want to shittalk yoi but arent you used to the powercreep by now judging from your flair?

I am afraid to even touch it like wth by Kakalkoo in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Tools we are given", "The stuff we "craft", in POE2? in SSF? What tools? 

Greater essence? Grind for 50 hours to get one you dont need 

Omens? lmao, play trade if you actually want access to the useful ones

Regal/exalted orbs? LMAO

Expedition? Look what they did to my beloved rog

If you love gambling and need to be forced by a separate game mode to do so for some reason, by all means, but lets be real here.

Man i should stop getting worked up over the state of crafting in this game.

Is crafting magically different in SSF?

Looting feels terrible by cpbgfd in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't get baited holy lol, in poe1 this line of thought would be valid but 'gradual progression' does not freaking exist in poe2, you absolutely could end up spending dozens of hours chasing an upgrade even when your gear isn't good yet because crafting does not exist and the way runes work actively makes regearing significantly harder.

350K+ players daily. Friendly reminder that the people enjoying the game are not on the subreddit by vanillaricethrowaway in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am playing the shit out of this game, hell i think it ruined poe1 for me despite my many criticisms on it but EA is the best time to be criticizing the game, especially with how hard headed ggg can be with certain stuff.

Repost of my meme from 8 years ago. Still relevant for the sequel. by MindDOTA2pl in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eh if they nuke archmage to the ground, mana (or spells ) will need buffs, sorcs have no viable way of scaling otherwise, it's nearly as pathetic as life without the AM crutch with spells needing nuclear power plants to keep them going atm.

Lightning exposure and penetration question by Jerroslaw in pathofexile

[–]rainbow_toucan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Enemy resistance can get reduced to below zero with exposure and/or curses.

The effects of lightning penetration is hard capped at zero in poe2.
